Where did you do that?Originally Posted by n6hcm
I ask, because most forums where I've pointed out the needless complexity of the system, I get non-thought replies such as:
* It keeps them secure!
* You can't fake a QSO!
* It's the bestest evAR!!ENELVTYONE!
Sadly, most of the die-hards are unable to comprehend the basic principles of "security", and therefore, they are not able to see why the complex process to getting started is pointless, and un-needed. Some hams thinks QSO records are on par with bank transactions.
I'm old skool
I make qso, you send card I send one back.
Done.

You are not wrong, overkill it is. After all, we're just talking ham radio here.
And, besides, my colonoscopy was a lot easier. All I had to do was have an IV inserted, then lapse into unconsciousness until it was over.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Doing this honestly is about all the mailing I do nowadays. Except for the occasional birthday or anniversary card to family. I think I bought 20 stamps around the beginning of the year and I still have 5 left.
All of my bills except my rent are online now, and they don't even send out paper bills anymore in the name of being green. I only check my PO Box once a week nowadays, never much in it besides the weekly coupons and ads. And I walk my rent in because my property management isn't even a mile from the post office.
If it wasn't for those, the US Postal Service would probably...well, I doubt my 15 pieces of mail has made a difference :)

Yeah, good point. Drinking that gallon of polyethylene glycol laxative (and dealing with the results) was not the high point of my day.

Not after I was done, I wasn't. Even my wife said so, "for a change."Especially since we all know just how full of shit you are.

Needlessly "secure" for what it is. If someone really needs to "cheat" to get some kind of certificate he/she did not actually earn, they have problems that can only be solved by someone with a degree in that sort of psychology...
